This, actually, is my 3002nd post.
Yeah, 3002 posts over the last fifteen years.
The blog all started because I wanted to document what it was to run a marathon. I never ran the marathon (but I've competed in five half marathons - that does count for something).
And I know this blog is mostly crap, But for me, it’s interesting to look back and see what was going on in my life over the last 15 years.
Over the last five years, I’ve managed to write something every day. Again you wonder why, but it’s a part of my process. I know that I’m a better writer for keeping this up. And yes, sometimes I don’t feel like it, but you do it, because I’m a writer, and a writer writes.
As for the song of the day, well, it wouldn’t be my blog post if I didn’t have a song. Half of the time it’s what’s playing in my head when I’m writing, because I always have a song in my head when I write a post Sometimes the song comes from the blog’s theme.Most of the time, it’s a song that I like.
Like today’s song. I’ve always been a big Talking Heads fan, but I remember this song with a lot of love, as this was playing in the car when my colleague picked us up for dinner at his place in Darwin. He’s not here any more, but his music taste was legendary. He’s even got me onto Amyl and the Sniffers. But I will always listen to this and think of us rolling down the Stuart Highway, with the windows rolled down, not knowing that we were going to watch some of the best thunderstorms ever from a distance. Little did we know our friend wouldn’t be with us for much longer.
It’s nice to have all of this documented.
3000 posts. Wow.

Great achievement Panda and always a great read
Well done, Pand. I'm at 980 since 2008 but then again, unlike you, I don't write a post every day. I might have to think about changing that because I do actually write every day. Here's to the next 3000.
:o)
Cheers
